Description
When deciding what to do for this prompt I was coming up with ideas with my sisssy bear oCrystal like i usually do, and this piece of wonder came into existence.It was a full on collab, we each took half the work on the picture, and half thr work on the story piece <3 And honestly it has been the most fun I have had in awhile!
I am posting the original version of it since i got word this morning that Morgana's and Amor's mutations have finally been approved <3
Hope y'all like it!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was a nice cloudy day. The spring air bringing warmth to the world and the special time of year when plants are reborn. Also the only time in the year the rare Dubberry plant is in bloom. For a potion maker this time is sacred and one filled with gathering for this very short window was sensitive. This unique plant was very difficult to find as it can only be seen in the rain. It glows a soft pink when the fresh water hits its leaves and until that moment it hides perfectly like a normal bush. Unfortunate for those who hate the water, it was needed.
Morgana looked up at the angry dark sky, her eyes narrowing as she spoke harshly to her companion King the Griffin "So why do we have to meet Amor?" King groaned softly at they were quick approaching Amors home. Morgana sighed "I get it you want to see Queen, its cute, but why do I have to come?" King grunted giving her a firm glare that Morgana all to clearly understood "I get it, its Dubberry season and she could use the extra hands... maybe I should just give her a Starbean. Save me some time." King gently smacked the back of Morganas head with his tail as he used his beak to knock on the treehome door.
Amor was in a frenzy trying to get ready for the most magical of spring days, the dubberry harvest, when she heard a knock on the door. Her griffon Queen seeing Amor frantic, decided she would pause her lounging and answer the door. She arose from her bed and moseyed over to the door, opening it to see her favorite duo. Queen smiled sweetly before stepping aside, allowing passage into the tree for both of them. Amor at this point was too distracted gathering supplies to even notice that they had visitors.
Morgana walked into the tree, stretching and placing her hands behind her head. Slowly walking up behind the ever busy Amor Morgana decided to loudly proclaim "You can stop fussing over little old me. Your house is clean enough." King took a moment to stare at Morgana trying to figure out if its just her sense of humor or if shes really that vain. He quickly shook it off and turned to face Queen. He elegantly bowed to the lovely griffin before him.
Amor hearing the voice of Morgana was startled causing her to jump and spin to face the other bean. "NO TIME FOR SHENANIGANS. THE DUBERRIES AWAIT!" She'd holler at the top of her lungs before throwing the bag of materials she had just filled to Queen, who was too busy flirting with King to care much about what she was saying, but grabbed the bag in mid air with her paw. Amor would pull her hair back, glaring at Morgana, as if realizing finally that she was standing there. This caused her to relax for a moment before asking, "What are you doing here anyway?"
Morgana took a step back from Amor and held up a little burlap bag "King insisted I bring this and come over." she looked over to the cute pair of flirting allies. Just in time for her to witness King gently nuzzling his beak up to Queens, in response queen stuck out her tongue "I guess we figured you would need some help gathering your Duberries." She looked back to Amor hesitantly and making a face of displeasure "Anything I can do to help?"
Amor found herself raising a brow at this, it was not like Morgana to want to exert herself unless she was getting something in return. But today of all days it was not a good idea to look a gift floophorse in the mouth!
"Never hurts to have an extra set of hands! The more duberry plants I can gather the better!!" She's say with a large grin before moving towards the griffons who were in front of the door.
Morgana nodded and followed Morgana "And to think, King is very strong and able to carry ALOT of weight. So really dont worry about over-burdening him." She softly smiled looking at her companion whos face now has a sort of pout about it... Though Queen will make sure it doesnt stay long. "So uh, I dont know much about this plant. Is it valuable?"
Queen led King off to the side slightly, to allow Amor passage outside of the tree home. "Off we go!" The excited bean would say as she marched outside and down the path heading deeper into the woods. The griffons would follow suit leaving Morgana to quickly catch up to the three of them.
Morgana used her wings to get an extra boost to easily keep up with her speedy friend, her bag flapping behind her. Morgana looked around as the sky grew darker as did the forest before them. "Erm, hey up it is still morning right? It looks awfully dark in here..." King grunted a loud affirming grunt "Yes King I know we are all safe with you here, but still. Kinda scary, I dont know how Amor goes in here alone all the time."
Amor was now more at ease now that the party was on their way to the duberries, so she would actually pay attention to things going on around her. "I just have to remember that there isn't much in these woods more fierce than us. As long as I keep that state of mind I don't get scarred! And if you do get a little frightened, just give a small roar into the darkness and you will feel much better." The bean turned to look at her friend with a warm reassuring smile.
Morganas eye widened, "Wait you think the great MORGANA is afraid of some forest? The very creature who sprouted wings to hunt even the highest treasure? A tail perfect to aid in not only climbing trees and rocks, but swimming as well? I am the greatest treasure hunter alive. And I can assure you, I am never afraid. Everything else should fear me!" by the end of her speech Morganas chest was puffed up and her face almost flustered. "While King is a protector I have no fear of anything."
Amor nodded her head in affirmation. "Of course not, it was silly of me to suggest something like that!" As she turned back around a small chuckle escaped her lips, not audible to the other bean. The griffins however hearing this banter exchanged an amused grin.
It would take them a good four hours of walking before reaching the part of the woods where the duberries grew. With every step Amor's anticipation grew, her pace quickening as they moved forward.
And while Amors eagerness and excitement grew Morganas depleted. As they were nearing the magical berries she would start to complain. To the point King would eventually load her onto his back just to make her stop being such a party pooper. Not that she wasn't excited for Amor, just tired of no result after so long on foot.
Amor would bring the party to a hault as a grin grew on her face. "We are here." Her eyes darted around the area at the different bushes before continuing, "Unfortunately it is not raining yet, so we may have to sit and wait for a bit." She'd look at the clouds over head at the clouds above them, "Shouldn't be too long."
Morganas eyes went wide for a moment as she slowly began to slide down King. Once her feet touched the ground her expression changed into a glare "What do you mean rain?" the tip of her tail began to flick back and fourth much like that of a displeased feline. "No one said we needed rain."
Amor turned to look at Morgana with a sheepish grin, "Did I not mention that?" She giggled a bit, "Whoops. Well the simple fact of the matter is, these are magical berries that are good at hiding. You can only ever see them in the rain!"
The sky beamed with a loud crack. Morganas pupils dialated at the sound. King let out a low gruff noise looking up at the darkening sky through the trees. And just like magic the first drop of rain splashed by Amors feed "Oh no..." Morgana looked to the sky only to be hit in the face by a raindrop.
More raindrops fell following the first one, and without warning a downpour began. Amorette jumped gleefully as the bushes began to change color from green to bright pink for the bushels of berries that appeared through the droplets of water. She rushed over to her sack that Queen was holding on to, and grabbed three more satchels out of it, "QUICKLY, GRAB AS MUCH AS YOU CAN! We have no idea how long the rain will last!" And with that the bean started scurrying from bush to bush grabbing as many berries off of them as she could.
The frantic ferret bean quickly continued to gather berries until her sack was full. She looked to the others who had almost as much in their bags. "Alright, I think we have enough for the coming year!" She'd say with a smile. It was then that she noticed how wet and soggy Queen was, the majestic griffin was all soaked in a sorry state. Amor walked up to her, stroking her side before saying, "Why don't you climb in my bag, hm? You deserve to relax alittle." Queen smiled at her favorite bean, and with a nod, she shrunk down to a proper size, and hopped in her bag. Amor's glance turned to King, "You too big guy, you deserve a break too."
King looked down to his belly where his bean friend clung to his belly trying to keep dry. King softly grunted and shook his head to the offer. Morgana had her eyes closed tight trying to avoid the wetness around her "C-can we just hurry back home please! Its raining!" Morgana proclaimed

I love the story! X)
I'm with Morgana on this one! I wouldn't want to go berry picking in the rain! Too cold and muddy!
("Morgana nodded and followed Morgana" (Paragraph six), I think a name might have been swapped here!)
I love the expressions here! It really tells a story beyond the story! The drips effects are really fun too!
Awesome work!

Collaborations do not reward peas sorry It needs to be 100% done by one person to count for peas, so both doing work on it means peas cannot be counted. This rule is here to keep people from doing collabs were only one person does all the work it but is said that both does it sorry! This also is the same rule when people co own bagbeans, only one of the co owners can do peacount, while the other counts as 1 pea like any other gift.
